Dear Sarah,
taking a look at Stata manual release 9 (Volume Survival analysis and
epidemiological tables: 269-272) it seems that you can adjust your KM
estimates for more variables at the same time.
Please, see example below (Stata 9.2/SE):
---------------------begin example--------------------------------------
sysuse cancer.dta
(Patient Survival in Drug Trial)
save "C:\Documents and Settings\carlo\Desktop\sarah.dta"
stset studytime, failure(died)
g alfa=1 if died ==0
replace alfa =0 if alfa ==.
sts graph, by(drug) adjustfor( alfa age)
----------------------end example----------------------------------------
HTH and Kind Regards,
Carlo

Thanks Carlo - that worked!
I don't suppose you (or anyone else) know about adjusting KM?
I am not even sure if it make sense to adjust survival functions?
I can adjust by one factor i.e: age shown below:
sts,by(group) fail adjustfor(age) ylabel(0 0.1 0.25) tmax(2)
but what about for multiple factors - can't get the coding right
Really appreciate this help as I am a newy!
Many thanks
Sarah
